Happy Birthday Joey and Amy!!

Well, we finally had Joey's birthday party...only 10 days late! Oh well, he is only four so he doesn't know any better yet! Amy didn't have any problem having her party 15 days early either!! Here are some pictures from their combined birthday party...

Somebody is excited!

The Birthday Princess

My father-in-law used to do this very same thing to my husband when he was little...he would sing to him and rock him back and forth!! Joey loved it!

It looks to me like three different people like to buy cards at the same place!

Grandma and Amy!

These next few pictures are courtesy of my lovely sister, Carrie...I have no idea what she was thinking!

Show off those pearly whites...I mean pearly silvers!

Uhhh, Carrie, I don't think you're suppose to hold the camera upside down like that...HELLO!

Somebody is going shopping!

Amy getting her Nintendo DSi...she was very happy!

Mmmm, cookie cake!

The Three Amigos...

It was also my father-in-law's birthday this month, so we celebrated with him too!

Ooohh! Pistachios, his favorite!

David and Joey were outside testing out Joey's new BigWheel...

Joey lovin' on Uncle Joe!!

$1,000,000,000.00* to the first person who guesses who this picture is of!!!
I won't tell you that she is standing in the background!

*this money will be rewarded on the 2nd Tuesday of next week...Happy Guessing!

Joey's 4th birthday...well, kinda'

Tuesday, July 7, my baby turned four years old...I can't even believe it!! With the month of July being extra busy this year, we decided to have Joey's birthday party later in the month and share it with Amy, who will turn 9 on August 1st! Joey did receive one present on his "real" birthday from Uncle Steve, Aunt Jackie and the kids, and of course they know just what he likes...

Hooray!!! Another dirt bike!!

Independence Day 2009...

This July 4th was spent with family at Genessee Country Village in Mumford, NY. It had been a few years since I had been there last...and with two less people in our little family too! This year our family went along with Steve, Jackie and the kids and my parents as well. Tim and Carrie were camping or I am sure they would've come along for the fun! I thought I would share some pictures of the day...

My husband loved seeing some of his old friends there!!

Another friend of David's...not quite sure what they are looking at?!!

Lunch time!!!...in the parking lot. Yeah, I know, we're too cheap to buy food at the restaurant!!

These next few pictures are of an old-fashioned parade through town.

This next picture is of an actual service that we attended where many immigrants gained their U.S. citizenship...it was awesome!

We saw these little lambs in the field. They were so friendly and one actually came right up to us! The kids loved it!

David and Amy taking part in a sac race. I won't tell you who was in last place, but her name starts with an "A" and ends with "y"!!

This man was playing a piano that he just had to crank by hand to make music. My charming husband asked him, "How long did it take you to learn how to play the piano?!!". I don't think the man responded...that happens alot with my husband's jokes!

Uncle Steve playing an old-fashioned game of bowling with the boys!

Joey enjoying this game all by himself!
